[Q] [RQST] Rooting in R800i 2.3.4 Xperia Play

Hello Guys,
I´m a newbie on this particular forum and after a huge research I found a lot of information but nothing related to this.
My phone is an xperia play R800i [unfortunately running only in 2G mode due that the ICE operator in Costa Rica only runs at 850MHz 3G ]
I´m not a Linux savy person and yesterday one of my peers helped me yesterday while we were at work in doing several things.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.ORIGINAL Setup-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
R800i with:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
build number: 4.0.A.2.368
BASEBANd: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-20302204-36
Locked bootloader and phone was SIM unlocked (it was from Swisscom)
No Root on this.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--
Steps my peer did:
- Unlocked the bootloader. (he did it in a matter of seconds)
- installed the R800I world version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
--- The following happened:
- Constant messages that Android Crashed.
- No SIM being recognized / no signal from SIM chips.
----Troubleshoot: I did a phone restore and that fixed the Android issues, although the camera crashed constantly and no storage card was recognized.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
2nd test:
My peer then downloaded a new firmware which is the following:
4.01.A.0.283 (please see captures) and is super stable although I lost root access.. never used the feature and I seriously want to remove games such as Sim, etc...
Battery life is awesome and Xloud, Cam, everything works like a charm!.
Is there a possibility that someone points me out to a video tutorial in order to root this great device R800i and have super user access?.
I love the firmware but if someone is kindly enough to have a video for this version it would be most than useful

OMG!!! Buddy thank you!!!!!!

Thanks!!
Guys, what a great forum!.
I was able to root with "DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox"
I´m so glad about this app, I have removed the the Sims3 and Fifa 10 hehe..
Now, what can I do next? I have 2 questions... (although just I´ll be digging more the internet..) and I even installed the Titanium Backup ;-)
1. How can I remove all the "ads" after I install something?.
2. Is there a way to download using "torre..ts" and install the APK´s for games without having the "warning" message that reports that my app is not authorized by gameloft hehe.. ?
3. Any Themes for xperia play (although I´ll search on this one)
Thank you again pals!!!! most appreciated!,

1. AdFree https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree&hl=sv
2. No idea. And I don't support piracy so I won't help you there. These things are cheap anyway.
3. Not much. There are a few in the themes forum that can be flashed. If you want different themes I suggest using another launcher.

Hello Folks,
Looking for some guidance... is there a new version of Firmware that I didn´t knew?. My Mobile is offering me the OTA update 4.0.2.A.0.42... however as I´m with root + BL unlocked obviously is not letting me to update.
What should I do?. My phone is showing the 4.0.1.A.0.283 running 2.3.4.

Not heard of this device. Perhaps a chinese copy of HD2.
OK, found something. It runs on Android, so you can only run Android apps. BTW what exactly you mean when you say things needed?

Need to se is it last SW, and need GPS for this phone.CoPilot Live- not work on this device !!

It runs 2.2 (as mentioned on the web), I don't have any idea if it can be upgraded, as you may know 2.2 isn't the latest version.
For GPS, you can check its specs if it has GPS or not, if yes then you can install the apps from the market otherwise perhaps connect an external GPS, although I am not sure weather an external will work or not.
You can click on 'Thanks' button, if I helped.

Model number : T8585
Android version: 2.3.4

Need "working" GPS !!!!!!!

Maybe it could help us to help you if you could post the link.
The chinese website where I saw this, mentioned Android 2.2.

Many app not work on this mobile !

Maybe this will help : - h**p://www.efox-shop.com/hd9-mtk6573-4-3-zoll-kapazitiver-touchscreen-handy-wlan-umts-android-2-2-gps-dual-kamera-dual-sim-bluetooth-p-236121

since it is running android, so the compatible android apps should run on it, but since its a Chinese clone, no guarantees.
You can trying looking at other android phones by HTC or some other brand, to be safe.

You can try this rom Update_HD2_3G.zip www.multiupload.com/XOVS2HZTHO to remove all chinese aplications and to improve everything.

Go to YGPS
Wait for the green satellites appear.
Go to NMEA Log
Click "save" wait 5 minutes and then click "stop". Repeat the process after 1 hour.

Is your cellphone the same of this?

Now HTC mobile phone is also very popular in China. But i am sorry i don't have it. It is a little expensive.

Is it upgradable to ICS???

Brick or not brick? Help please T_T

Hello! I am sorry to get all of you into this mess with me just with my first thread. I´ll explain my current problem...
I was on CM 7.1, wanted to install Defy+ rom from Walter79, i did everything as the post explains but after installing fixed sbf, the phone just stays on M logo, make some intent to pass it and gives me the bootloader screen with this error err:a5, 70, 00, 00 ,2F... If someone can help me, please, i´ll appreciate a lot. Thanks from Argentina.
You will call me newbie, and you´ll be right xD.

Are you sure you flashed the fixed sbf? When did you get this error? After flashing a froyo rom? If yes, you flashed the full sbf.

Well, thank you for your reply! Lucky as smart, i try to find my original SBF, i went back to Froyo and then i did it again but directly from there...i choose again a new Defy rom with buttonfix from the Walter79´s folder (from do not which uploader) and try it again. But when i use the same fixed-sbf, i got stuck on the same loop...i flashed it again but with the fixed-sbf for the SOC green camera. It worked and now i am done.

thank you

Well, thanks for your confidence, i do not know a lot, but i am learning on the middle, i have read a lot and i feel able to help you, nobody helped me because i have made stupid questions :S...
Well, you said you want to update your Eclair to a new fresh platform ...but how high do you want to go? Do you know about the capabilities of the higher android versions? Plus...what do you want? I went from official 2.2 to CM7.1 wasn´t bad, it were very stable and fluid, a lot of customizations but non BLUR...so i decided to keep the most original GB as i can. So now i am on the Defy+ some some 1321.
I guess that first at all, if you want to go upgrade you should taste 2.2 anyways to go high.
Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 and when you decide to go, i will help you if you want .

first root your defy,install 2nd init then chose which rom is better for you taste you may tray CM7 or CM9 or walters79 roms if you like blur stuff.

if you install any CM7 or CM9 try to use base band switcher to get you cell on the right GSM network .
if you install any other rom you can edit the APN on your cell MENU>SETTINGS>WIRELESS & NETWORKS>MOBILE NETWORKS>ACCESS PIONT NAMES >MENU>NEW APN
Search on google the APN for your service provider.
if it help you hit the thanks at the end .

Install the 5/03/2012 quraks versión of CM 9 it comes with baseband switcher (on advanced settings) select argentina 900 2100 or something like that and then Google your Internet provider Apn and configure them (the last message shows how to do that )and you are done

Like that guy said, the problem is very common if you upgrade your firmware, if you got a network problem, install Defy_Baseband Switcher and choose the one for your country. Unless you live in a country not included on it, what would be a mess but i trust that you can do it.

thanks guys for every things i'm now:
- Motorola defy
- CM7 "latest nightly" (04/03/2012) firmware 2.3.7
<works 100% no bugs for me>

Carrier upgrade question

Hi all, new to the board and hoping to get at least some enlightening answers to my troubled mind. As a computer tech I see these new generation of smart mobiles as a small computer with an operating system where the user can upgrade, install and customize as he wants.
That's where my troubles begin I just bought a Gio s5660 for my daughter the phone came with Froyo android 2.2.1 installed. When I came to this country I didn't know there were so many restrictions imposed by the carries regarding upgrading it, in short to pay for a service that I can do it myself.
My question is if I do upgrade my phone lets say with a rom from France region will it work anywhere in the world independent of carrier?? is the language of a region the reason we have to update according to the carriers?.
Appreciate any enlightening,
TIA,
JLart

at first, welcome to XDA.
there are specific versions of the galaxy gio, and not only the GT-s5660.
most have a letter behind it, like the GT-s5660m, GT-s5660L. and there's the V model too, and a korean model is SHW-....
where are you from/where did you bought the gio?
this is so I can know wich type you have, as some types have different hardware, and can't just flash firmware, as they need specific firmware for their device, or you can't make calls, or wifi doesn't work...
firmwares get rolled out per provider, and sometimes they have 1 or 2 preinstalled aplications, but these can be removed easily, if you have root acces, but thats a different story.

-->> The one I am holding is GT-s5660 apparently from Italy since one of the labels on the box and the user guide is in Italian.
where are you from/where did you bought the gio?
--->> I am in Israel and staying until the end of the year after that I head back to Brazil. I bought the phone here not directly with the carrier. The phone is unlocked and as soon I put chip from a different carrier some apps change according to the chip I put in.

I went to the page selected as per instructions. My question is I install the open roms?? or does any of them is valid??
ty,
Jlart

Hello IM also a new user and looking for a confirmation on this. Is it safe to assume that, since the phone is unlocked does it matter what region I am in??? Installing any ROM would be ok then??
10x for the reply

Hi, would like to say ty again to voetbalremco for his much precise instructions.
went to the site he said, downloaded an German open version of android 2.3.6 installed and everything works perfect with any carrier.
To answer meudroids question you correct, the phone open so you can upgrade on a GSM phone so that uses a SIM card. At least thats how I understood it better experts on the forum will be able to help u on that.

Info about new HTC 10 Please

Hello guys im a big fan of HTC using them from the last 15 years.
I moved yesterday from my belowed M8 to HTC 10 because i get a"Brand New"" Mint condition never used HTC 10 for exactly 200 USD and i saw its a super Offer for this Carbon Black device no single scratch still sealed
I cheked the phone and is writen to beb USA WWE Version Factorory Uncloked etc.
All work perfectly fine i chek it via HTC Diag and few more alternatives the only one thing bother me when im using a program to identify the device in Main bord is writen "QC Reference Phone" What this mean its that a normal?
The phone is 32GB Black Carbon USA unclocked WWE version i update it via the OTA to android 7 exactly the latest Security Patch is from September 2017 and the build of the android, 2.51.617.21 the official one since the phone was never Rooted or Unlocked Bootloader or S-Offed i have to do this this weekend)
so if you can give me more info about this will be perfect
Thank you in advance.

My other question is regarding the Unclocking things, since 10 is new device for me i will unlock the bootloader with HTC devs 1st then will install costum recovery and root it do i have to S-OFF it just to use a Custum ROM? like Viper and some mods all i want is to be able to flash Viper ROM plus Ainur Aidio Mod Sauron plus Infinity Sound mod by Zero thats it..
I know if i S-OFF it will be able to flash diferent RADIOS firmwares etc but in case im with the latest official Nougat firmware why i will need to do that? or do i really need it if i want to be able to flash only the above things i need.
Of course later with the change and OREO firmware update i will S off it anyway but do i need to do it right now what exactly i will be not able to do if im S-ON only the RADIO firmware?
THANK YOU much appriciete

Basicially S-OFF is needed if You want to change MID and/or CID to flash any RUU You want or, as You said, to be able to flash different firmware (older for example).
In matter of flashing custom roms, You don't need S-OFF to do this. If You have latest official Nougat firmware You can flash Viper ROM plus extras You have mentioned
Remeber one thing, before flashing first custom rom it's always nice and handy to perform backup in TWRP.

They gave you a QC reference phone. It's a prototype for development. You need to report that user to ebay and get your money back.

I think the best way would be to contact HTC Support directly and give them all the details about phone

For all the people who wonder there is nothing WRONG with that and is not only ME also the thing about test unit or some kind of protoype is not true as well finally i have a chance to talk directly with HTC Tech support for many things including this QC Reference phone readin of the MotherBoard.
Also they did a nice lookup chek for me and told me the device i got is Perfect USA Factory Unlocked Aka Developers Device in perfect condition. And also that the dive is bought directly from them from the Official HTC site because they had it in the databes there when who and how did he get it.
Lets make it short here is the reason WHY this heppans and not only to me they are already familiar with that wrong reading.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virginia P.: Great, Tsalta. Based on your IMEI number, I was able to check in my system that you have an original HTC Device manufactured in the US and bought through our website.
The message you are having is not an issue, your phone is in perfect state. The database of some applications does not have all the sub-versions of the processor references. The mainboard does not handle like in the computer that has apart ram processor and video. They handle something called SoC (System on a Chip), therefore the processor handles the whole system. But as there are so many versions depending on number of cores, type of video, amount of ram, etc. the application may not recognize the type of processor.
But, I promise you, there's nothing wrong with your phone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats the answer its something related with the revision version Some programs read it on some devices some cant handle it BUT all the device are THE SAME.
